Rooting and OTA updates - G Watch - LG G Watch

Hello fine people of XDA.
First post! Yep, I'm a noob but I have read the rules and know what to do.
So, I'm just going to jump into the question. I have a brand spanking new G watch and want to install Gohma onto it. Thing is, I'm not sure if rooting will block OTA updates like it did on my G3 (still on 4.4.2 ) So if I were to root/unlock bootloader/install a rom/install a recovery, would this in any way make the regular method of updating change?
Anyone who has rooted their g watch and/or given it a custom recovery, please do let me know about OTA updates, anything I may need to know. Please. I'm desperate :'(
Thank you!

Yes it does break OTA updates. If you want to go back to stock the LG way.

Thanks for that reply. I am baffled by this though.
While you say it breaks the updates, I learned from another source side note that you must reject all OTA updates with a ROM installed... Implying you still get OTA updates.
If it really does break updates though, it would be cool to see some kind of after market operating system with updates become available. Preferably Cyanogenmod I recently flashed Cyanogenmod on my G3 I mentioned before, now I can update it on a different but similar OS.
I'm not sure if I can update Gohma, and I'm not sure how long it will be updated for. Therefore, I'm just gonna stick with stock for now unless I can confirm I can receive OTA.
Ok, here's another separate but not unrelated question. Can I receive updates after reverting back to stock assuming I could revert to stock recovery, if possible?
Thanks again.

CyanogenMod isn't a different OS, it's still Android. On another note, You can only update Gohma via the package the developer provides with each release, which flashes the system image up and modifies it after. You cannot receive ANY OTA packages while flashed to Gohma as the package asserts will fail during the attempt to install.
To answer your last question, yes. You can receive updates after reverting back to stock system image and stock recovery (recovery is needed.) as your watch will effectively be... Stock.

Brilliant! Thank you so much for your response, I feel loved <3
Sorry, I didn't mean a 'different OS' for CyanogenMod but... you know... nevermind.
I will need to find out how to revert back to stock recover though, I am a noob at that sort of thing and just used flashify
I will look for a tutorial on that but a link to one will be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

It's no problem, I'm glad to help. That said, I happened to get the link for the post I was attempting to direct you to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch/development/script-lg-g-watch-tool-t2820863
Download that and use it to restore to stock. Restoring to stock with the latest version of the tool will put you on the latest OTA available at the time of it's release, which I believe is 5.0.2 since 5.1 hasn't been released yet for Android Wear.

Thank you very much. I decited to root and intall Gohma. Problem is, it is on 5.0.1, so I was offered an OTA update... I'm so confused. Will installing the update break the root + ROM, or break my entire device?

it wont break anything, it will just fail when it tries to update.

As the poster above me stated. It won't cause any problems, the asserts fail when it attempts to install causing it to simply exit from recovery and reboot. There's a tutorial somewhere on these forums (I completely forgot where this time) about neutering the update system so that it won't beg you to update anymore. Honestly though, I'm having more luck on 5.0.2 stock than I was having with Gohma, my battery life is pretty good too.
